"Peter Bussigel’s Transmongolia for [objects] and video consisted of the composer himself busily creating a throng of looped sounds with everything from a Rubik’s Cube to magnets on metal beside a continuous hi-res shot of neon green Mongolian countryside taken from a train. Accepting the world of sound Bussigel set about creating was not easy, but the brain both clenched at the noise and longed for it after the fact."

Adding Machine is a simple delay system, built in Max/MSP.
It captures the input of a microphone and continuously loops the stream at prescribed intervals. All input is repeated, timbrally unaltered, and sent to either two or four distinct speakers. The machine can be set to automate the switching and fading of delay banks by stepping through predetermined ‘scenes’, allowing a performer to create different and dynamic forms and textures.
